Passive-agressive Enrique left the conference furious over constant Mbappe-related questions

When Luis Enrique came to Parc des Princes, one of the first things he said was that actions would speak for him. He tolerated Kylian Mbappe, who had a special status, but the Spanish strategist's fuse went off when it became clear that the French superstar did not want to stay in Paris. He replaced him against Rennes, then in the duel against Monaco, and such decisions started an avalanche of questions.

Luis Enrique was sweating after the match with Monaco in which Paris Saint-Germain, as well as with Rennes, ended in a draw. He felt like he was in a sauna before a barrage of questions from the media representatives. On that occasion, he became furious, he was irritated that three similar questions were asked, and he did not want to answer the fourth. It was similar before visiting Real Sociedad in the Champions League. The topic of Kylian Mbappe raised his pressure again.

He knew what was coming to him, at first he tried to relax the situation and turn everything into a joke. It didn't go through. The smile disappeared from his face as the questions continued and he went off. In the end, he no longer wanted to comment on anything related to Kylian Mbappe. He left the press conference.

Big Brother Kylian will take care of you: Mbappe? We'll take two

The attendees were interested in whether the first star of the team in the Champions League could have the same treatment as in Ligue 1, where he was replaced twice in a row in the second half...

"Yes, why not?" Luis Enrique answered the question with a question, and with a lot of laughter.

Then noises would appear in the room communication system. A new question and again about the French.

"Wait, the translator doesn't understand. Something about Mbappe... Ask a simpler question", said the Spanish coach.

Whether the translator really did not understand or that was the instruction - is questionable. The new one was more understandable and read: Can Paris Saint-Germain play in the Champions League without Mbappe like in Ligue 1?

"Maybe yes maybe no. Who knows".

Luis Enrique gave a short answer and became grumpy, so that he would have even less patience for the next one, which was about dealing with new circumstances with Kylian Mbappe.

"We manage easily, listen to what the journalists ask and take the answer you want", said the strategist of the Parisian club.

He talked about the accompanying things about the game, but on the fourth question related to the player, who should become part of the Galacticos 3.0 project in the summer, he refused to explain anything further.

"We have such an important game ahead of us, I have no more comments on that topic", he put an end to the stories about Mbappe.

It remains to be seen how everything will reflect on Paris Saint-Germain tomorrow at Anoeta Stadium, where the French champions came with a two-goal advantage, but also in the future. And will Luis Enrique have more understanding for Kylian, if he has a 'bad day' again...
